Crazy Girl Shin Bia 7, Mysterious Joker 5, Yona The Girl Standing in the Blush of Dawn 3 (m&c! 9 November 2011 manhwa and manga) [UPDATED]

Can't seem to shake this flu—yeah, yeah, I always have excuses handy—but I'll still fill in the m&c! eyecandy and blurbs and NikBabble™ later. Also, that Yona, The Girl Standing in the Blush of Dawn is still a mouthful :P «Update: No change in Akatsuki no Yona's title, but at least, synops.

by Gramedia/m&c!

Desperate to learn what the future holds, Yona and Haku search for a seer. They meet Yun and Ikusu after the pair rescued them from their pursuers. Is Ikusu the seer Yona and Haku are looking for? What path does the oracle show Yona who only yearns to protect her loved ones?

What I wanna know is: Who else here fangirls Suwon-sama other than me and nacchan? OK, so she's moar a fangirl than I am; I still haven't read Yona, The Girl Standing in the Blush of Dawn 2, and here volume 3 already streeted... (Haku-sama fangirls are welcome to chime in—I'm all for equal opportunity—and the comment box waits for you down there). Still, I'm half-tempted to pick up Akatsuki no Yona again, just for that Suwon-sama on the cover.

Half-hearted Suwon-sama fangirling regardless, I definitely fangirl Mu Young, another Affably Evil White-Haired Pretty Boy ♡. Unfortunately, Crown Prince Yoo Baek steals the spotlight in m&c!'s Crazy Girl Shin Bia 7 blurb:

By Hwang MiRee

On the way back to the palace, Bia is abducted by Amar, son of the Goyo tribal leader. What retaliation does Crown Prince Yoo Baek visit for the crime of kidnapping his precious bride?

I preview Mysterious Joker 5 after the release list to free up Above the Cut space for newb School Babysitters *pokes Kia-chan*:

Published in Indonesia as
School Babysitters by m&c!

Caring for one sibling already proves a handful, what more a LOT. But such is Ryuuichi's new everyday. Ryuuichi is accustomed to taking care of younger brother Kotarou, a good thing as they've just lost their parents. But when Ryuuichi enrolls into Morinomiya, he finds his babysitting duties asploding.

Yup, Shoujo with Male Lead, aside from the equally obvious Childcare, Babysitter, Older Brother, Dead Family Members. Baka-Updates Manga explains that Ryuuichi becomes the school daycare's new babysitter after he and Kotarou are adopted by Morinomiya's chairman.

Gakuen Babysitters is Tokeino Hari's latest shoujo series. Four tankou have been compiled in Japan as of September 2011 and the manga continues to serialize in LaLa. The name Tokeino Hari sound familiar? She's the manga-ka behind Oniichan to Issho—published by Elex as With My Brothers—and Hitai ni Mikazuki that m&c! retitled Ninja & The Crescent Moon Princess.

Dunno if either Elex or m&c! ever licensed Gyakuten Honey, the 1 Volume (Ongoing) Body Swap comedy serialized in LaLa DX and LaLa Special (volume 1 published in Japan 2009.11).
